Chinese worker killed in Borno

Gunmen have shot dead a Chinese national who was working as a chef for a construction company in Borno State, a company official said Monday.

“One of our Chinese workers, a cook, was killed by some gunmen who stormed the livestock section of the market where he had gone to buy a lamb in the company of two local staff,” Albert Audu, of the China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CCG), told AFP.
